Good entertainment

(4 Sterne)

These stories are good entertainment; funny, whimsical and, at times, clever. They are read fairly well, though a few errors got past the prooflisteners (chapters 14 and 15 contain repeated sentences). Overall a good listen. Thanks, readers!

always terriific

(5 Sterne)

I'm more interested in golf and even less in gambling thanks to these

funny stuff

(4 Sterne)

hard to believe these stories are like a hunnerd years old.

Well read classic collection of his stories

(4 Sterne)

for golfers & gamblers

(3 Sterne)

At least half of these stories as of no interest unless you are a golfer, or enjoy hearing about idiotic gambling schemes. Since I find golf boring, and I find gambling an unfortunate addiction instead of a "flutter," I was able to enjoy only half of these stories.
